Bom Jesus Church was built by the Portuguese in 1603 inside Moti Daman Fort and is Daman's most important Catholic church. Its façade is white Portuguese Baroque, with finely carved doorways. Inside, the tall gilded wooden high altar and painted icons are well preserved, and Mass is still held here. Entry is free, but visitors should dress modestly and keep quiet. Photography is not allowed during Mass. The church sits beside the fort's central square and can be explored on foot together with the fort walls and lighthouses.
